As a preface, I mainly collect T206 and vintage Topps cards. There is plenty of pricing info available on these.
Having said this, here's my card show attendee (buyer) perspective: I do my research before going to the show. For the most part, while I'm there, my phone stays in my pocket. I have a want list with me. The prices I'm willing to pay are on that list. If I bring cards to sell or trade, they're already priced. My recent (2020s) card show experience has been confined to the Philly Show. It's a large regional show with lots of dealer tables. I'd rather not waste time "looking up comps" during the show, especially since I can do that in advance. The show is too big to waste time doing something I could have done before I got there. It's the buyer's analog to dealers who put price stickers on their cards. Quick and easy.,

Every post needs a card…here are a few Mickeys (not Mantle) I pick up at the GBSCC show. I’m sure I paid up on them, but was happy to bring home some vintage Disney…

I’m not clear how looking up actual sales of an item when considering a deal on that item is making tech ones master. Seems like a pretty reasonable thing common sense thing to do. I would never object to someone using a valid dataset to check pricing. What is wrong with using data?

The new generation just takes what they've paid and adds 300% thinking someone doesn't know how to check the last sales. Should end well

Remember, if you can look at VCP information, weed out the outliers and adjust for differences in the cards and changes in the market, others can too. It's just a tool. I collect comic books and would love to have a service as good as VCP that covers comic sales.
